The lightning rod sharks have new
trick which they are practicing upon un-
suspecting farmers. They state that
they are sent out by insurance compa-
MES to test the rods now in use, as the
losses from protectors are becoming very
frequent. Their method is described in
the following:
An electric battery is produced, the
farmer coupled on to the handles, his
lightning rod being in circuit, and the
current not being turned on he feels no
shock. Then they produce a sample of
lightning rod which they can furnish
the farmer, and to show him how per-
feet it is, the electricity is changed TO
their rod, and the machine being heavi~
y charged this time, the farmer gets a
shock that is almost a kGoek-down ar
gument. OF course the bait is swal-
lowed, and the victim signs contract,
and in day or two along comes the
second division of the gaUg. who put up
the rod. About this time the farmer re-
ceives another and harder shock by
heing presented with bill largely in
excess of his expectations. No use kick
ing, for his contract signed by his own
John Hancock stares him in the face,
and he can do nothing but make the
best of bad bargain.

WHAT the Republican party Is and
what it has accomplished fer the coun
try, was never better summarized and
spoken than by Senator Sherman in his
great speech at Nashville last week:
The Republican party is broad ma
tional party, which has, during its pos
session of power in the national govern
nent, made greater contributions to the
wealth aud prosperity and happiness of
the people than any other party in our
history. 1t has shown that it is capa-
BILE to deal with all questions of inter-
nal ard external policy. 1t has estab-
lished the national credit upon the firm
est basis, placing it above that OF any
nation in the world, not even Great
Britain excepted. Its currency is ad-
mitted to be now the best in the world
copied oy nations OF the Oldest civillzi-
lion of Europe and Asia. 1t has pro-
NOTED and developed our internal COM
merce so that it is expanding and
increasing to an extent never before
known in the history of mankind. 1t
has bound together by cords of iron and
steel the remotest parts of our country.
1t has developed internal industries
naver engaged in before its existence.
1t is now prepared to open commercial
relations with our neighboriDg countries
Mexico, the Dominion of Canada
Brazil, and the South American Repub-
lies. 1t proposes to increase our bnsi-
ness relations with all these Deighbor-
lug countries by the establishment of
lines of steamships, by the extension OF
American railroads into and through
| them, by commercial regulations that
will be liberal and just to oGr friendly
neigh bors. 1t is liberal, broad. and
generous party,of firm conviction, ardent
patriotism, aud bouEdless hopes in aims
| for the future.
